The main character of the "Book of Graveyards" is called Bod. It's not a typo: not Bob, it's Bod, short for Nobody, Nobody. He received such a rare name from his adoptive parents. Childless couple Inicia took the boy into custody to protect him from a man named Jack, who killed the real Boda family. Even for our crazy time, Inichya does not look like an ordinary family. They lived in the graveyard, but both of them died long ago. The cemetery fence not only encloses the place where cold dust lies, it separates the world of the living from the world of the dead. Here, among the pompous tombs and simple tombstones, "non-life" boils. Dead children play, the poet-grafoman who committed suicide watches over the treasures of his master the mysterious Blue Man, and somewhere there is even a passage into the desert with an abandoned city adapted by spirits to his home. This is the new house of Bod, which is not inferior to the fabulous jungle Mowgli with its exotic unusualness. The book consists of several small stories from the life of Bode .. With each of them, the hero becomes older by two or three years. All the sketches line up in the whole story of the inevitable growing up, which sooner or later will take Boda, as in his time his literary prototype, from the place that has become the current home, to the world of ordinary people.
